OrionÃ¢ÂÂs original Little Giant binoculars have gotten even littler. The new breedÃ¢ÂÂLittle Giant IIÃ¢ÂÂis less bulky, lighter to carry, and easier to handle. Little indeed, yet more powerful too, available in magnifications of 11x, 15x, and 20x, allowing viewing over even greater distances and probing of even subtler details.

No, the objective lenses havenÃ¢ÂÂt shrunk. TheyÃ¢ÂÂre still a big 70mm in diameter, perfect for light-critical applications such as astronomy, birdwatching at dusk or dawn, and observing in overcast or shaded conditions. The vivid, crisply formed images you see attest to the superior optical components, including the finest BAK-4 prisms and multi-coatings applied to every air-glass optical surface from the eyepieces through to the objective lenses. These coatings insure unimpaired light transmission and accurate contrast.

What has shrunk is the binocularsÃ¢ÂÂ aluminum alloy body. ItÃ¢ÂÂs now more compact, and 11.4 oz. lighter in total weight than before for greater ease of use. All other things being equal, who wouldnÃ¢ÂÂt want a smaller, lighter binocular! The new design also incorporates a more rigid eyepiece bridge for higher focusing precision with the smooth center-focus wheel.
